2016年12月商務(wù)英語中級閱讀材料精選
2016年下半年商務(wù)英語中級考試將于12月3日進行，大家要好好做好備考工作，以下是yjbys網(wǎng)小編整理的商務(wù)英語中級閱讀材料：找工作前不得不知的10件事，供廣大考生閱讀參考。
1 無報酬的實習(xí)是非法的
對今天的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生來說最大的問題不是沒有工作，而是無報酬的實習(xí)。沒有法律定義實習(xí)生，但國家最低工資的法律規(guī)定任何有工作資格的人必須獲得至少6.08英鎊每小時的報酬(如果21歲以上)，除非他們的雇主是慈善機構(gòu)。
2 Ignore the headlines – there are still jobs out there
News that 83 graduates apply for every job is eye-catching, but is it really true? Are graduates only applying to the big names, via adverts they've seen in the most obvious places?
2 忽略頭條新聞 – 除那之外還有工作
有消息稱83個畢業(yè)生申請一份工作是引人注目的，但它是真的嗎?通過他們在最顯眼的地方看到的廣告，難道大學(xué)畢業(yè)生只申請那些大公司嗎?
3 Doing more education isn't the answer
A second degree means a better job – or at least a better chance of getting a job. Right? Wrong. Think carefully before you sign up for an expensive postgraduate course that may be of little interest to employers – and beware of the increasingly slick marketing methods used by universities (remember, education is a business now).
3 接受更多地教育并不是解決之道
第二學(xué)位意味著更好的工作——或者至少是一個找到工作更好機會，對嗎?這是錯誤的。在你簽署那些你的雇主并不感興趣的昂貴研究生課程之前仔細想想，同時提防大學(xué)日益華而不實的營銷方式(記住，現(xiàn)在教育是一樁生意)。
4 Give the industry you have chosen a health check
The digital revolution has turned many industries upside down. The music industry, book publishing and print journalism are obvious examples, but other industries are suffering, too. This means the "dream jobs" you've set your heart on may not even exist in a few years – and if they do, they could be poorly paid and insecure.
Graduates often hope that if they want their goal badly enough, they'll get there. Sadly, this isn't true. Look around. If people established in your chosen industry are bailing out, what does that tell you? Think laterally and take your skills to a growing sector. Your career spans 40 years. Don't pick an industry that will be dead in five.
4 給你選擇的行業(yè)一個健康檢查
數(shù)字革命已經(jīng)讓許多行業(yè)倒閉。音樂產(chǎn)業(yè)、圖書出版和平面媒體是明顯的例子，但其他行業(yè)也在經(jīng)歷陣痛。這意味著你全心投入的“夢想工作”在未來幾年內(nèi)可能根本不存在 - 如果他們這樣做，他們可能會獲得低報酬和不安全感。
應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生往往希望有志者事竟成�？杀氖牵@是不正確的。看看你的周圍。如果在你選擇的行業(yè)里創(chuàng)建者想逃出來，這告訴你什么?正確地思考，把你的技能用在有發(fā)展的部門。你的職業(yè)生涯跨越40年。不要選擇一個5年內(nèi)會衰亡的行業(yè)。
5 The perfect CV is a myth
Graduates obsess about crafting the perfect CV, but there's no such thing. If yours is clear and concise, stop fiddling. And forget about trying to stand out. If your application is really good, it will get noticed.
5 完美的簡歷是神話
畢業(yè)生過分注重制作完美的簡歷，但沒有這樣的事情。如果你的簡歷簡潔明了、停止花哨。忘記試圖脫穎而出。如果你的簡歷真的很好，它就會被注意。
6 Don't forget the little guys
Don't dismiss small- to medium-sized companies (SMEs, with less than 250 employees) – that's where the bulk of graduate vacancies lie. Thousands of SMEs are desperate to hire bright young graduates – but they may not advertise in the obvious places as it's expensive, so do some extra sleuthing to track them down.
6 別忘了那些小企業(yè)
不要忽視中小型企業(yè)(中小型企業(yè)，雇員少于250人)——那里有大量為畢業(yè)生準備的空缺職位。成千上萬中小型企業(yè)都在拼命聘請有前途的年輕畢業(yè)生 - 但它們可能不在明顯的地方做廣告，因為太貴了，所以花一些額外的功夫記下他們。
7 Offer to help – but don't beg an employer for experience
Don't use your covering letter to tell a sob story about why you need a job to give you experience – however desperate you feel. And don't emphasise your potential – it sounds like you have nothing to offer (which isn't true). Instead, underline what you do have. Employers will hire you if they think you can help them – not because you need experience. And never offer to work for free. It looks as if you don't value your own contribution.
7 提供幫助 - 但不求雇主經(jīng)驗
不要用你的求職信來講訴一個關(guān)于你需要一份工作來給予你經(jīng)驗的哽咽故事，不論你多么絕望。不用強調(diào)你的潛力 - 這聽起來像你沒什么可提供的(這是不正確的)。相反，強調(diào)你確實有的東西。如果他們認為你能幫助到他們，雇主就會雇用你——不是因為你需要經(jīng)驗。永遠不要提供免費的工作。這看起來像你不珍惜自己的貢獻。
8 If it's really not working, it's time to stop doing it
The biggest mistake graduates make is repeating one job-hunting strategy again and again before wailing. Different industries require different approaches. Have the courage to ditch what isn't working – and try something new which might. What have you got to lose?
8 如果這真的不起作用，現(xiàn)在就是時候停止這樣做
畢業(yè)生犯的最大錯誤就是在嚎啕大哭之前一遍又一遍地重復(fù)一種求職策略。不同的行業(yè)需要不同的策略。要勇敢地放棄一些不奏效的方式，以及嘗試一些新的可能。你有什么可損失的呢?
9 All the experience you have gained is good experience
Spent last summer litter-picking at Glastonbury? However lame you think your experience sounds, anything is better than nothing. "The key is to make it sound relevant for the job you're applying for," says Hawes. "Think back and see the job through the eyes of an employer. What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them? What skills did you develop? What training did you have? This is all great stuff for applications and interviews."
9 所有你已獲得的經(jīng)驗都是很好的經(jīng)驗
去年夏天在格拉斯頓伯里揀垃圾?不論你認為你的經(jīng)歷聽起來多遜，任何事都比沒有好。 “關(guān)鍵是讓它聽起來和你申請的工作有關(guān)，”霍斯說。 “回頭想想，從雇主的角度看任務(wù)的完成。你面臨了什么樣的挑戰(zhàn)，你是怎么克服的?你發(fā)展了什么樣的技能?你獲得了什么樣的培訓(xùn)?這對申請和面試來說都是很棒的東西。”
10 Nobody wants to hire a robot
Yes, be professional when you're applying for jobs, but be yourself. Stiff, robotic graduates using business buzzwords incorrectly is a big no-no for recruiters.
10 沒人愿意雇用一個機器人
是的，當(dāng)你申請工作時要專業(yè)點，但要做自己。僵硬、機器人般的畢業(yè)生不正確地使用專業(yè)用語對招聘人員來說就直接是拒絕。
